Morning Thoughts – A little recap
Good Morning! I took an extended break on posting to make it through the recent holiday and work through a couple of extremely busy weeks. I’ve spent a lot of time de-cluttering and re-organizing my side of the house and I’m not where I want to be just yet but definitely getting there. It’ll be…
Morning Thoughts – Mental Health Introspection
Good Morning! It feels like it’s been awhile since I’ve made a post. Life has just been really hectic lately and work is so slow that the financial strain is reflecting more and more on my mood. Everything is getting so expensive and my income is less and less despite efforts to bring in clients…
Morning Thoughts – You Must Be Dreaming
Good Morning! I’ve been thinking a lot about how people dream and how it reflects the situations that you’re living in your everyday life. Last night I had a dream that I was at the shop and my boss and the shop owner were out front to tell us that the shop was shutting down…
Morning Thoughts – Nothing special
Good Morning! Life has been fairly uninteresting this past week. I did some more work on my car and got a working coolant thermostat installed thanks to my boyfriend. Of course it snowed the day we were initially going to do it so had to postpone to the next day and it was so cold!…
Morning Thoughts – Back in the Swing of Things
Good Morning! It’s a cold and rainy day here and they had initially forecast some wintry mix but that didn’t happen. Yesterday was my first day back at work after an extended break (Thanksgiving family visit and car repairs) and it was so nice to get back to tattooing although I only tattooed one of…
Afternoon Thoughts – Family vs. Self
Good Afternoon! It’s been a long holiday weekend here and so I’ve held off on posting to allow some of the stress to wash away and process my thoughts. It seems everyone has so much stress this time of year and I am definitely not immune. This past week I visited my parents (Dad and…
Just a few – Morning Thoughts
Good Morning! Today I’m writing from my parent’s home as I went to visit and cook for them for the Thanksgiving holiday. I enjoyed the actual cooking part and like spending time with them but it can be a bit overwhelming. Today I’m going to take a little time to get out and do some…
A Busy Morning with Even Busier Thoughts
Busy, busy, busy morning so far! This time of year it feels like there is always so much more to do than the rest and I can never catch up with everything. This afternoon I’ll be spending some time replacing the coolant thermostat on my car. It’s an older model and I’m thankful that I…
Morning Thoughts – Grief & Remembering
Good Morning! After yesterday’s post I felt pretty good to have talked about someone who I deeply miss and the rest of the day was fantastic. I did some really cool tattoos on some awesome people and I very much enjoyed talking with them and learning about their lives. But, once i went to sleep…
Morning Thoughts – Remembering Connection
Good Morning! This morning I’m not having any strong feelings about what to write about so I’ll have to just see where this goes. I read a couple of blog posts this morning talking about trying to find connections with others and all the struggles of it even now with pretty constant access to so…
Morning Thoughts – Tech & Tattoos
Good Morning! Yesterday I got the back of my thigh tattooed by an old friend from the shop where I apprenticed 10 years ago. Whew! That was a tough spot! (The tattoo and the old shop, haha.) I’ve reached the point where most of the locations that I have left to get tattooed are difficult…
Morning Thoughts
Good Morning! I’ve been slacking on allowing myself time to write this week. It’s a difficult time of the year for everyone so I’m allowing myself a little leeway in my extra endeavors. This morning we got notice of our rented home inspection and I’m excited we just get to do it ourselves versus them…
Evening Thoughts-Community Struggles
Something different today with some evening thoughts that have been brewing all day. It’s been a beautiful fall day here but the coldest yet with a chance of flurries overnight, which I am definitely not ready for. I’ve spent a portion of today reaching out to local groups looking for some support to a lovely…
My Muse vs. The Nothing
Good morning! Today is my “Friday” in that I’m off the next two days. Woo! It’s been a busy week, not so much in a tons of appointments and financial gain type of way, but creatively speaking for sure. I’ve been making efforts to write as much as I can even if it’s just my…
Morning Thoughts on Body Image
Good morning! I’m spending a little time this morning thinking about tattooing, art, AI, and the people that get tattoos. As a visual artist I’ve seen a lot of discourse on the integration of AI and how it’s going to, and already has affected visual artists. (Not to mention the environment, the finances of artists…
Morning Thoughts
Good Morning! It’s a beautiful fall day here and as I sat outside watching the sun rise higher and leaves falling I realized I don’t really know where to start with this blog. I am very much not a writer so doubt my personal musings will bring a lot of interest to the table but…
Gauging Interest in the Project
Good Morning! Since I’ve never really worked on a project like the EFP Catalogue before I’m not quite sure where to start. There are a ton of groups on social media sites for discussing encounters with ufos and other paranormal experiences and I’m beginning to reach out to see if it’s okay to post and…
